[Bug 1190947] [NEW] [udev] missing vendor/product names of devices (missing hwdb.bin)

[Martin Pitt]

Public bug reported:

The hwdb bits of udev do not work at the moment. They expect the
compiled hwdb database in /etc/udev/hwdb.bin:

$ udevadm test-builtin hwdb /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:00.0
calling: test-builtin
error reading /etc/udev/hwdb.bin: No such file or directory
load module index
unload module index

$ udevadm hwdb
--test=pci:v00008086d00003B4Asv000017AAsd00002164bc06sc04i00

This leads to devices not having proper vendor/product strings (also see
bug 1186777).

TODO:
- Move binary database out of /etc [upstream]
- Call "udevadm hwdb --update" in udev postinst
- Clean up hwdb.bin on purge
